Boys Soccer

The game that I attended was the Boys Varsity Soccer game held on 10/12/12. This game was held at LMG's home field and they played New Utrecht, during the game both teams exhibited their strengths and weaknesses.

The strengths that our team showed were their persistence in scoring and their constant desire to puncture the opposing team's defense. They also exhibited their strength in maintaining the ball between each other and passing it at the right moment. While some of the weaknesses include the lack of communication between the members which prevented them from scoring at the critical moment. The team also had trouble stopping the opposing team's offense which caused them to puncture our defense and score seven goals. The final weakness was the fact that both teams were limited to the right side of the field and if they had spread out I think that the chances of scoring would be better.

Some of the observed strategies include the constant passing between the members of our soccer team and the knowledge of how to get rid of the ball when they were being pressured. The team also took advantage of the overlaps that were created during the game and used these advantages to score. Despite the fact that these strategies were used our team still ended up losing with a score of 7-2.

In the future I think that our team should improve their communication skills during the game and try to spread out and not limit themselves to only one side of the field where they have a smaller chance of getting past the defense.
